The document discusses electron configuration and the quantum models of the atom. It compares the Rutherford, Bohr, and quantum models. It explains the four quantum numbers - principal, angular momentum, magnetic, and spin quantum numbers. It describes how light emission spectra provide information about an atom's energy levels. Rules for writing electron configurations are given, including the Aufbau principle, Pauli exclusion principle, and Hund's rule. Orbital notation, electron configuration notation, and noble gas notation are defined. Examples are provided of writing the electron configuration for atoms with specific atomic numbers.
